Which starter pokémon from Kanto is the best of the three?
Is it the Dinosaur with a plant on it's back Bulbasaur?

Or the Lizard that is on fire Charmander?

Perhaps the wet Turtle Squirtle?

Only 1 can be the very best, like no starter ever was!
You are so banned. (SPOILER)Jigglypuff
Squirtle! Wartortle is awesome!
mewtwo
because those three are equally weak to the one to the left fire>grass>water>fire
Stragetically, bulbasaur by a mile. Charmander was the best though.
I picked Charmander because I was a little kid.
Charmander because im not a wuss

Bulbasaur's the best to get you started, obviously, for its advantage against Brock and Misty. I preferred Squirtle, though, for no particular reason. I'd teach Blastoise Ice Beam to counter plant types, and it always worked well. I very rarely had a plant type in my ending party, and I liked having Arcanine, so Squirtle for me.

Honestly, I wouldn't say it's the 'best', but I like it the most of the three.
I like being a jerk with status effects and the like, so Bulbasaur for me. Leech Seed + Poison Powder/Toxic worked wonders in battles throughout the game.
Mewtwo has a type advantage over Bulbasaur's Poison secondary trait. And is broken.Quote:

Charizard is statistically the strongest of the three starters, and has the best moveset, along with a niche on a team that is difficult to replace (that is, as a Fire Pokemon with the ability to learn Ground attacks). Growlithe isn't found until after you get Dig anyways. In Generation I, this lets people load up on other, broken Pokemon without having to waste a slot on Dugtrio or a Fighting Pokemon. Blastoise and Venusaur's roles can easily be replaced by a well trained Pikachu, Dewgong, or even Lapras.
You're damn straight I'm going to hit you.Quote:

Squirtle. Because it makes the best dirty nickname for a chick.
Squirtle is a freaking ninja, have you seen him in brawl?
Charmander: is the coolest (cause his tail produces infinite fire)
bulbasaur : is the best if you wanna get all tactical n :bou::bou::bou::bou:
Squirtle : Is a freaking ninja and gets people wet
THE CHOICE IS YOURS
